Jeffrey Baudisch on 07 Feb 11One of the risks of shopping online is that your personal information like your credit card or your social security number can be accessed. The Feed in the people in feed were open to getting viruses like your info is at risk for being stolen.

Ryan Clarke on 01 Mar 11WOAH Jeff nice point...this quote relates back the the novel "feed" very nicely. As we know violet and titus and all his her friends were attacked by the hacker. Later on in the novel Violet was taken over by the feed and lost various funtions until she died because of the feed.

stephen richards on 01 Mar 11I completely agree with you Ryan. because of all the online access people like titus are more open to dangers like a virus, and even those who dont use the feed as the corps want them to can get a virus but then the corps wont help them for not using the feed to purchase merchandise.

Another risk with shopping online is that there are many website built just to phish account names and passwords.

If you are careless with your information online there can be huge consequences. You can loose your accounts and passwords to fake sights that are just look like the website you wanted. They can then shop on the real website as you. The feed can access your thoughts and use them to advertise products to you.

WOAH JEFF so true there can be huge consecuences thats why you have to be on a secure network with a secure website. For example BANK OF AMERICAS website. People log into that all the time to do online banking and if thats not secure than WOW you will get your information stolen

Buying without thinking or without hesitation may lead to some bad experiences down the road.
-
If you are not careful you can end up buying a product that seems real but really is fake. When people buy something without thinking there are often consequences like a huge bill. In Feed the people are able to buy products from inside their head making it easy for them to spend out of control.

Thats is a GREAT POINT Jeff...People now are going through ebay and craigs list, because itS FAST and its CHEEP. Now in todays society, TIME is MONEY. No exceptions.

Nathan That is a good point you had about jeffs GREAT POINT. also cheap is spelled cheap not cheep but i digress. it is true that through ebay and craigs list we are less conscious about how much we spend because until the credit card bill arrives you dont see the total of what you buy and that will begin to add up.
